Any thoughts on what would help make it more clear? @ Chantrelle: Filtering by rim size is definitely on the list of features to add if it was fully interactive. I'd probably add price then, too. Ideally you'd know/remember which shade you were looking for, but they could also easily be color coded, different shapes, or both. Thanks for your feedback! @ Kalani: Thanks!

Icons and/or descriptive text for the rim size would help too (I bet a lot of mountain bikers don't realize that they can only use 26" tires): mountain, road, and I don't know what that 650b size is honestly... see, I need the icon! Final thought, I have trouble keeping track of grey scale ("what did black mean again?") and do better with color (or icons). Don't know if I'm typical or a freak. Overall: I give it a "yay!"

Love the chart (and that's saying something, cause I didn't really understand bike-tire buying before I read the post). This is why I consulted you when I had lots of data to present.
